Jim Daniel the driver bob riggle had been driving the hemi under glass barracudas since the 1960s and had never rolled one . it happened with leno on an oval track instead of a dragstrip where it should have been .
Jay is a guys guy. He could hang out with the rich and famous, but would rather hang with regular guys talking cars and turning wrenches. And let’s not forget his great charity work and helping our Vets. Truly a class act. 👍👍👍
Jesse C I don’t believe it. 5 point or not. Your head still gets whipped around. I worked for 15 yrs in EMS and there’s no way they wouldn’t of had some kind of cervical pain/injury.
Jay : " MY name is Bob Riggle... " ............literally the funniest thing Jay has ever said.....perfectly timed humor to take some of the stress out of a tense situation
@@spacecadet0 It's true. You run your pickup into the fence outside circle k and you've gotta have some way to pay for the 30 grand of damage... Jay just cut's the check.
@@sepg5084 That bump is what did it, that car set up to drag racing with drag shocks and slicks can't take an upset in the track like that. If you knew it was coming maybe but if you knew you would avoid it all together.
It may sounds horrible having an accident like this, but imagine you have this accident with one of your idols in one of your favorite cars and managing being unharmed. That makes the experience 10x intense and a really good story to tell!
A family friend has a Ural. One day he and my grown son were off riding it. Suddenly they pulled up in my driveway. My son hopped out of the sidecar, ran into the kitchen, grabbed my fire extinguisher, and ran back out to the Ural. As he was getting back into the sidecar I asked him why he needed the fire extinguisher. He said, "Better safe than sorry," and off they went. Just the thing every mom wants to hear.
@@PlanetEarth3141 I thought it was pretty clever when I heard it. I figured I'd share it and give other people a chuckle. I wish I could remember who said it, but it was some stand up comedian.
Ah yes, Jay Leno. The worlds sweetest, down to Earth, humble multi-millionaire. I would love to hate him, because I'm so extremely jealous of him, but I just can't!! He's simply too nice a guy.
Jay just want to thank you for so many great car memories when I too was a kid. Your show is great entertainment for anyone who appreciates old school and new school driving culture. Would hate to be your agent during those hemi roll overs:)
I think we all knew what number one was going to be. Still impressed by Jay's presence-of-mind that day, i.e. keeping all working body parts free of twisted carnage. .
Mind above Panic, DESPITE Panic. (reminds me of the TEMPTATION to panic/cave nightmare- story that almost cost Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone his life). Love stories like this. It's on Joe Rogan's channel re: JRE if you want to do a quick search for the Cowboy-Cave Story.
Years ago I got to meet Jay and he took me and another guy around his garage to show us around. I was really impressed with how down to earth, friendly, and knowledgeable Jay was. That said, I would never get in a car with him. ;)
I was 'hoping' I knew what #1 was going to be, because I didn't want to think about Jay involved in something worse than the Bob Riggle roll over incident. Kudos to Jay for his nerves of steel. I have a lot of respect for him.
I love how, when any other bike would stall out or wheelspin accidentally driving into a mound like that at such low rpm, the Ural just chugs right up!
Yes, Jay is so great. Any time I see Jay Leno on You Tube I am so happy. I missed ,,Tonight Show,, with Jay Leno. Jay Leno is my HERO. Cheers and Yeehaw !
Awesome Jay , enjoyable video, but most of all , no one got injured, thank you for the years of kool stuff, I’m 68 and I would of never got to see quite a few of the kool cars and projects if it wasn’t for you, stay safe, healthy, make time for the wife, looking forward to seeing the next supprize video Thanks again Russ
I saw the "Hemi Under Glass" at our local regional drag strip back in the late 60's, I think. I can't remember, dammit! He didn't flip it over, but rode it all the way down the track on the rear two wheels. With the engine in the back of the car, it was a handling nightmare. The street version wasn't much better when modified to look like a dragster. I was in my friend's 1965 fastback, which was all jacked up in the back with little tires on the front. It was a fuggly, cheap Valiant with a mostly glass fastback stuck on it. The big thing then at Dodge was to stuff a huge engine into the cheapest striped down economy car, like the Roadrunner, made to go fast in a straight line. On this night, my friend decided to kick in the "three dueces" while going up a winding 3 lane road. At the first bend, it slid sideways all the way over to the other side of the road...in blind curve. Luckily, he was able to save it and nobody was coming down the hill. He sold it to his cousin who crashed it in a curve, hitting a tree that literally cut the car in half, killing the 3 teenagers. Tough summer...
13:04 Look at that smile ....That's the smile of a little kid living a dream! So satisfying :3 That car Died doing what it loved!!!! Nothing lasts forever so.....
Got to love Jay, flips three times in a 2500 horsepower car and ends it with a joke! Go Jay👍😀
Actually he only flipped once. Clever editing.
@@Raven16691 Couldn't buff that out.
The lesson is not to get in one of these funny cars with an octogenarian. His Mom would not have approved.

@@kevinpatrick8788 was my 1st thought, that's not a preped track follwed by wheres the run off area

WOWW I wass not expecting that last CLIP ... What a ride ....
@jason9022 I can not watch You Tube in prison ;-)
It was fake
That ain’t real. They would of been flying around WAY more than that!
@@iamagr8hunter with a 5 point harness???? ehhhh
Jesse C I don’t believe it. 5 point or not. Your head still gets whipped around. I worked for 15 yrs in EMS and there’s no way they wouldn’t of had some kind of cervical pain/injury.
I thought none of these were really hair-raising moments, until the last clip!
The first 9 was kind of unbearable to watch.
agreed
Thanks for the comment.
Was gonna just skip the video after the first few.
Hair raising for an old man, you never know what measly force could break his bones
Jay : " MY name is Bob Riggle... " ............literally the funniest thing Jay has ever said.....perfectly timed humor to take some of the stress out of a tense situation
Jay's insurance premium has to be outrageous.
I dont think you need insurance when your net worth over $300 million lol
JC Martinez 😂😂😂 no you don’t need them, just burn everything. In fact, No One Even Need Any Insurances. Hahahahaha super funny guy you are.
@@beluwuga bonds are a thing the rich use to get around "insurance". These people do not need anyone else to provide financial sureties.
@@spacecadet0 It's true. You run your pickup into the fence outside circle k and you've gotta have some way to pay for the 30 grand of damage... Jay just cut's the check.
It is now.
Bob didn’t suffer any injuries other than his pride, which was severely wounded.
At least he remembered his name.
that's what happens when you try sudden cornering on a straight line machine.
And Jay started with his hand out the window...
@@sepg5084 man, if only he had experience driving that thing
@@sepg5084 That bump is what did it, that car set up to drag racing with drag shocks and slicks can't take an upset in the track like that. If you knew it was coming maybe but if you knew you would avoid it all together.
Only the best fun from Jay . He is the Good Guy …Thank you 🇨🇦😊
Only Jay can crack a joke after a car crash to the safety crew.
There nothing cooler than cruising around a track and having Richard Petty pull up beside you in that Hemi Super bird .
It may sounds horrible having an accident like this, but imagine you have this accident with one of your idols in one of your favorite cars and managing being unharmed. That makes the experience 10x intense and a really good story to tell!
But it was painful to watch as a petrol head..... :( Can't even imagine how they must have felt inside......
The best take away is be like Bob! 80 years old out doing wheelies in his hot rod!!
I got a plane
@@wandcamilo3989 don't crash it.
Right!!?!
If I make it to 80 I’ll be ok with doing wheelies in a wheelchair lol.

Getting thrills like that at 80, and walking away unharmed? Amazing. Being a passenger IN the car? Priceless!
if you think that is crazy, check this out

Bob is the man!!!
I love the Richard & Kyle Petty segment #5. That was so cooool.
Jay is cooler than the underside of the pillow
He's cooler than my ex-wife's heart.
he sucks balz
@@billmoyer3254 Just because yomama has a mustache, doesn't mean you can call her a "he". I mean, that's just disrespectful.
Great now I wanna lay my head on him...
Jay is cooler than my toilet seat at 5am
Jay is hilarious. Number 3 was crazy and number one was funny as heck. Man, comedians in cars getting coffee could never compete with Jay’s content.
Do you know that all toy stores keep their Arnold Schwarzenegger action figures in the same location?
Aisle B - back
You have kids don't you.
this dad joke made me laugh.
That was clever.

Kinda like Trump
@@sukieme1
NOT!
I involuntarily gasped and winced when that 2500 cuda rolled.
Not kidding. My son just asked if I was alright hahaha. He thought I stubbed my toe!
Jay showed remarkable awareness and focus to keep his hands/arms inside the rolling car.
Yeah I was just thinking to myself, if his arm had been sticking out at any point, it would have gotten ripped out of it's limb.
Jay just want to thank you for so many great car memories when I too was a kid. Your show is great entertainment for anyone who appreciates old school and new school driving culture. Would hate to be your agent during those hemi roll overs:)
THAT CAMERAMAN haha "we're going out in a blaze of glory!" He was definitely excited in the moment I love it
agree JT...
got to love the comedian in Jay coming out even after an accident
I think we all knew what number one was going to be. Still impressed by
Jay's presence-of-mind that day, i.e. keeping all working body parts free of
twisted carnage.
.
Mind above Panic, DESPITE Panic.
(reminds me of the TEMPTATION to panic/cave nightmare-
story that almost cost Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone his life). Love
stories like this. It's on Joe Rogan's channel re: JRE if you want
to do a quick search for the Cowboy-Cave Story.
Your impression of Arnold is spot on Jay
The fact that Richard Petty still drives a 200mph capable NASCAR in his legendary Stetson is brilliant.
Why did you leave the story off of you burning your eyebrows off on your steam car??? That was CLASSIC!!!!!! A small explosion.
I like how the front suspension of the Lincoln was just like 'Yeah, whatever" after getting run over by a tank.
In Jay’s world the rescue team is led by a straight man setting up a punch line.
I thought none of these were really hair-raising moments, until the last clip!
Moral of story on Hemi Under Glass: never ride with an 80 year old guy that takes a go straight car from a museum and makes a left turn at speed.
As Conan O'brien learned, Its Jay Leno's world, the rest of us are just here taking up space.
When you love motorsports things like this tend to happen, but if it wasn't dangerous it really wouldn't be any fun. "Fortune favors the bold"
Holy Smokes !!! The last one was true classic Jay Leno ,"Awesome & Badassed rolled into one ."
Hahaha, no my name is Bob.... priceless Jay! Did you help Bob patch up the car?
PETTY What a Icon of my childhood .... what a Honor that had to be.
U gotta love Jay...he's just a gearhead who happens to be uber rich..lol
That was quite a roll at the end!
RIP Bob Riggle. Like Jay loved seeing him in the magazines.
Great set of clips
I knew rollin with Bob Riggle had to be #1
Wow it's certainly worth watching till the end! Jay you haven't lost your touch when it comes to humor 🤣
My name is Bob Riggle. LOL only Leno could turn that into a joke. LOL...classic
..6:32...famous James Garner "Jim Rockford" move..used to like to watch him do that with his Firebird when I was a kid...
Bucket list box checked. Adds box; upgrade seat padding to memory foam.
Wow what a show with the Hemi Under Glass rolling several times and Jay cracking a joke when the ground crew comes up and asks if they are ok.
I think it was a matter of professional pride that jay could still joke about after the hemi crash.
he wasn't cracking jokes when he was still in the car...he looked shook up, because he was.
@@Jimidan1000 He did , seconds after the crash and as the safety crew arrived and asked the driver questions.
Jay Leno is the ultimate kid with with baddest toys on the planet .. its good to be the JAY !!!! WE ARE NOT WORTHY ....LOL
The funniest thing in this whole vid is seeing Jay wearing the helmet.
His head just does not quite fit. Funny!
so you roll a car, almost flip a bmw, and crash a few motorcycles. Nothing compares to making Gilbert Gottfried scream like a girl 4:05
Could you even imagine looking over your shoulder and seeing King Richard next to you driving a Petty Wing Car.
#5 with Petty&Petty is wicked awesome! All three legends.
5:09 lol that rev sound effect in a 44hp 4-cylinder Kubota diesel
Bob may not have wanted to cry, but I shed a few tears for him.
Did anyone else hear him call the Challenger a Charger? 😂😂😂 the second he said it I was like “oh poor Jay”
Yeah I said that above like bruh learn car names
Last one nailed it -- flipped it yet in smiles...
Jay sure knows how to have some super fun!!!

Things I just took off my bucket list - sidecar racing and rides in a 2500 hp hemi.
I'm not gonna lie. When I saw the Hemi Under Glass flip a little piece inside of me died.
John Wick's Aurelio:
That limo? Yeah, I can fix that :))
Holy crap. I never seen the last one, the 2500 hp flip. Geez Jay. Happy you're alive. Stay safe. 🥰👍
Yes, Jay is so great. Any time I see Jay Leno on You Tube I am so happy. I missed ,,Tonight Show,, with Jay Leno. Jay Leno is my HERO. Cheers and Yeehaw !
Oh good lord Leno, don’t ever do that last thing again!!! 💀😎
The SWARTZ just went COMMANDO on that defenseless limo! Bet He'll Be Back!
This reminds me when one time I fall off my couch while being asleep.. The TV was still on.. Luckily for me I had soft rug on the floor
Wait...what?!? You fell...what does the tv...specifying the rug...what?!? I'm so confused right now. XD
@@realitycheck3363 you know , that time when he fell asleep .....ohh good times
It was hair-raising

Jay is a national treasure
Jay Leno needs to start something new. Take some of his cars on a track. Invite some of his fans to drive some of his cars also. Sign me up Jay Leno
He has that Miata all warmed up for you ;-)
@11:45 that company has to be out of business because of that clip lol
the flip on the last car is so real that they put stickers under the car in just in case
The No1 deserves to be No1.. what the flip!!! Crazy!!!
That grin on jays fqce when he is in the car with bob riggle
Do'in a ROCKFORD !.....Jay is wonderful !...My name is Bob Riggle .....hahahahahahaha
They don't call you Wildman Jay for Nothin'... Ha ha!

Jay you are a legend.
I see your passion to the cars in every show.

That car Died doing what it loved!!!! Nothing lasts forever so.....
woahhhhh hey man Jay Leno found his lane. that last ride holy crappp
when the hemi went over, i almost screamed 'dooooooooommmmmm...i mean jaaaaaaaayyyy ' :D
Imagine being young and missing Jay Leno on the tonight show and only having an incredibly fake poser like Jimmy Fallon on late night TV.
Thanks for posting this stuff online. It makes the lockdown just s little easier to deal with. Bless
i was hoping for the tim allen camaro burnout clip where he almost loses it between two rows of cars , his expression was hilarious .
Jay looks like a chubby kid when he has that helmet on in the Jamie fox portion.
5:24 "The incomparable Dodge Charg(sees it's a Challenger)neur"
That last one, should I be laughing that hard
two of these were actually hair-raising: the side car where he went on gravel, and number one where he flips it at Irwindale.
The flip in #1 must have made those sponsors with stickers under the car really excited
Haha! 😆 “Alright, so be it”
The flipping was flipping awesome. Way to ride it out Jay!!!!!!!!!!!
That bit with Richard Petty was epic
That Arnold Schwarzenegger impression though haha...
'i have a tank, and my friend Arnold has a tank', doesn't everyone?
MY name is Bob Riggle !! That was great Jay.
For true hair raising effect, do all these again but in heavy rain 🌧
That ending. Hahaha!
HILARIOUS! What I call "the triple threst", Leno, Cars, and Comedy!
